High Lord Cedric Raven

A distant cousin of the late Treskotin king, is a formidable and shrewd individual. Despite the traditional succession rules not favoring his claim to the throne, he possesses a cunning and strategic mind that has allowed him to carve out a position of power on the border with Pyre Glaa. Driven by a thirst for power and wealth, Lord Cedric has capitalized on the natural resources abundant in his territory. He has established lucrative trade routes with Pyre Glaa, exporting raw materials that Treskotis lacks the technology to process. This resource trade has enabled him to amass significant wealth and build a strong network of supporters and allies.
Lord Cedric harbors grand ambitions of ascending to the Treskotin throne. His plan involves forging an alliance with Pyre Glaa, a formidable military force, and joining them in the battle against Afrea, viewing them as a rival power. With the support of Pyre Glaa, he aims to wage war on Afrea and assert his claim to the throne through force if necessary.
Known for his charisma and persuasive rhetoric, Lord Cedric possesses a silver tongue that enables him to sway the minds of those around him. He is a master manipulator, adept at exploiting the vulnerabilities of others to further his own agenda. Despite his ambitious nature, he presents himself as a charismatic and benevolent ruler to his followers, using his charm and charisma to gain their loyalty. Nearly all influential traders and other lords within his territory serve him directly. Some out of feer, but most out of greed, as he has shown time and again that those who are willing to trust in his plans and follow orders are rewarded handsomely.
Most all that hold any position of power outside his territory fear the idea of him taking the throne. In their eyes his is a spoiled child thinking he can get what he wants through violence, while knowing nothing of the horrors of war.
